So I told them to go ahead and refund the order, Im now looking at other suitable options and may go with the tried and true Abit NF7-S 2.0 which were also pretty solid boards. Too bad. But maybe an opportunity to get an Athlon XP-M instead and overclock it with the ddr500 :) Ok so this is going to …

The Antex Z1e does exist. After looking for one since 2017 I was beginning to think that none were ever sold or that all of them had been scrapped. Screenshot_20240820-162115.png I am not sure if it will be usable for DOS games as the manual does not mention sound blaster support. It does have OPL3 …

I have a nice Lian Li PC60 case for this lot to go into with a 9800XT and 2Gb of DDR500 to complete a nice 2003 era build, Im thinking I may throw a 6800GT in there if the 9800Xt cant handle Oblivion well enough as this is a partly a throwback build to my XP system I had back in the …

You pay shipping - located in USA. Anybody want 1-4 Intel Xeon x5675 engineering sample CPUs? They aren't the best looking but they were exactly like this when I bought them years ago and they worked fine. I just recently pulled them out of some servers I am retiring. x5675_All_4.jpg x5675-1_back. …

Anyone want these for price of shipping? In USA, it will probably be about $5-$7 for both.. maybe less if I stick them in a padded envelope. Logitech G9 including all the original weights and an extra set of feet - rubber has been cleaned off as it was turning into sticky goo and left click needs a …

Heads up that there are some really cheap Slot A Athlon Thunderbird CPUs on eBay right now. (10.49 shipped) Shipping goes down to $1.99 for each additional purchased. These look to be new. Just search for Athlon 700. No, it is not my listing and I do not know the person that listed them.

Another thrift store find today. Hadn't come across a case quite like this before. I do like early 2000s beige boxes, so grabbed this. Mostly wanted it for the pair of beige DVD drives. Nothing too fancy inside, just a basic AMD Sempron system. Came with an ATI All-in-Wonder 9600 XT. Unfortunately …

Does the driver CD for a Yamaha YMF-724 PCI soundcard count? I bought it for $2 lol Is it generic or brand-specific? I've got an Addonics Sound Vision SV550 Rev. F featuring YMF724F-V scavenged from a P3 build from e-waste. I managed to dig out DOS.EXE using Wayback Machine but couldn't download …

Oh my g.... Someone just snipered a gorgeous open box 939 socket FX-57 for only 50$!!! Missed it by seconds.. (T.T) I know it was one of us!! Fess up! Lol That was me. I could have gotten it about $5 cheaper as the seller sent me a discounted offer right as I was paying the original asking price. …

Got my very first SB16 CT1740 with DSP v4.04 (no hanging note bug) and has a ASP/CSP chip as a bonus. Hopefully it's not too noisy.

I don't think that P601 3-pin connector is actually a fan, from where the traces route off to: https://www.vgamuseum.info/index.php/cpu/item/259-nvidia-geforce4-ti-4600 I think it's more likely to be coax TV-out or something like that... *later* Huh, did you know a full schematic for the NV25 P80 ( …

I might have left them they were a little more plain. They are copper and the card bends under its own weight. I don't like that at all. Leave them on. You have a very good chance of ripping off a RAM chip when trying to remove since they are epoxied on there. You can always add a support bar for …

It looks like you'll need to desolder one of the Zorro slots to fit the 16-bit ISA and avoid a collision with the PCI card edge if I remember correctly my mainboard review has a completely free 16 bit and one 8 bit ISA slot. however the sound blaster 16 works perfectly in the 16 bit slot I'm pretty …

I'm using that for years with a soft toothbrush and never broke anything. The PCBs come out as clean as new. Just rince it in clean water once your are done and dry it as good as you can afterwards, especially in the PCI/ISA slots where water can get trapped. Then wait 1-2 days and off you go. I …
